Marked cards / inferior card quality at WSOP

(1/2) > >>

Zozzy:
David "Bakes" Baker has made a stand and is boycotting the rest of the World Series until the cards are replaced by a better quality, and he accuses WSOP of not taking security seriously.

Curlarge:
I can"t say in all honesty that I noticed any cards with "marks" on them but without a doubt the were bowed horribly. Almost every hand I was trying to straighten them out and I do remember thinking that they were very poor quality and nothing like as good as the ones we use in casinos here.

Pears27:
Print very small too. My eyes are fine, but in seat 2 I had no chance when seat 8 flipped their cards.

IrishTom:
I totally agree - those bloody cards cost me a bracelet or two...

KarmaDope:
The problem the WSOP have (having discussed this with someone) is that for Kem"s/Copag"s to be used (which is what we use over here), you"re looking at $20 for a setup (2 decks etc, printed with logos).

The WSOP go through over 20,000 setups during the series.

You do the maths :)
